Strategies for developing the information society among low-income sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean

DIRSI is requesting proposals from senior researchers in the region on any of the network's three priority themes: Bandwidth for all, Mobile opportunities and New indicators to measure market performance and ICT indicators. Case studies on Latin American countries are most welcome, as a way of generating knowledge that can later allow a comparison of the state of the art and the progress of the studied subjects. Successful proposals will be eligible to receive awards of between U$5,000 and U$8,000. Proposals will be accepted until 15 April, 2010.
